The First Game

[opening_act]

Who: Calling all idols
Where: The Game Tower
When: day 2, afternoon

[ You didn't lose your phone, did you?

If you didn't and you're anywhere within range of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building-- your phone just went off loudly, with an insistent vibration. All other features of your phone have been overridden by an alert header above a map that reads:

GAME TIME.

The map displays the route to the Game Tower from your current location. You can't make phone calls, you can't play with your camera, you can't even check your profile.

Follow the map, and the doors open to the lobby, welcoming you in. ]

Box #3

[opening_act]

[You open the box and written on the top is this note, "It's one thing to read a profile, but I want to hear what the idols have to say! Please air their own self-introductions, I want to meet them in their own words!"

Honestly, that's kind of a cute request. This box just has a microphone in it, and instructions taped on it, asking you to introduce yourself to the audience and other units. ]

[liarliarliar]

Ah, this seems simple enough. And well suited to AlcheMe who aren't shy at all.

[neigh_sayer]

[STILL LOUNGING IN DRESS]

Piece of cake! Some of these units seriously need help with introduction anyway!

[maxxximumeffort]

Well boys, let's show 'em how it's done!

Hello there, viewers! Double Down here, the eldest of the AlcheMESTS! I completely understand what you mean - a profile just isn't personal, right? So I'm giving a biiiig shout-out to all our fans! Be sure to support the boys, we all know they're the real draw here -- but from me to you, an extra loving shout-out to all you moms and dads out there. Daddy's here to represent with all the rough and tender love each boy might require.

Without further adieuuu, they can take the stage!

[well, Maid B will blow a kiss and link arms with CB, posing]

I'm AlcheMe's BE, the youngest of the brothers! I'll be sure to bring everyone a smile and I hope everyone is cheering us on! Please keep supporting us and we'll do our best to be the AlcheMe you want us to...B~

[neigh_sayer]

[ARM LINK UP!!! CB winks, playfully clinging to B's arm]

Heeeeey, all you lovely people out there! I "C" you!

I'm CB, the cute and plucky clown of AlcheME! I like sweets and my baby brother the most! Neeheehee, isn't that surprising? I'm the second youngest! We'll keep you on your toes, so don't let the wool be pulled over your eyes!

[afailedmurder]

It's my turn! I'm the responsible second-oldest but I'm coming up in the world! I'm the Ace of Absolution, but you can call me A! I want to help everyone out, so please come to me if you need anything! I hope we can all be good friends.

[MAKES A C WITH HIS ARMS]

Please keep your eyes on us, everyone!

[rollplayinghouse]

...You all sure are enthusiastic about playing along.

[columbidaring]

Why not have some fun with it?

[rollplayinghouse]

If that's fun for you, I guess.

[liarliarliar]

If you're doing something, do it well.

[rollplayinghouse]

It was very impressive, as far as that goes.

[liarliarliar]

As things go, this is pretty fun. And not too hard to put effort into, even for a lazy boy like me.

You can borrow the mic if you'd like to give a go.

[rollplayinghouse]

No thank you. I don't think I've... cultivated enough of an image yet.

[neigh_sayer]

That's show biz for ya, doll. But we have a very real family bond going!

[rollplayinghouse]

...Is that so? After only a day?

[she sounds skeptical, but... also maybe a tiny bit jealous??]

[neigh_sayer]

Of course! You can't fake this kind of love--who knows, we might have been related for real!

[they all ridiculously clingy, he's hanging off their arms]

[rollplayinghouse]

[gross]

You don't really look related.

[neigh_sayer]

Rude! Don't judge a book by its cover and all that! And besides, we definitely have a lot in common.

Like our irresistible eyes! Look, look!

[rollplayinghouse]

[looks]

Exactly what am I supposed to be resisting?

[afailedmurder]

We do our best.

[rollplayinghouse]

It's definitely... impressive.
